Passengers have slammed Leeds Bradford Airport after chaotic scenes this morning saw customers queueing outside of the building.
Long queues, which reportedly included fast track customers, have been pictured outside of the airport. One passenger claims people were stuck in a queue "over half a mile" long.
Voicing his dismay in a post shared at 4:10am, Twitter user @WoodsyLufc wrote: "Leeds and Bradford airport, 13 flights going out between 06:00 - 0700, no staff to direct people and chaos starting at 04:00!! Queueing over half a mile! @LBIAirport your operations team need the sack!"

The passenger also shared two images, showing queues both inside and outside the building. Responding to a comment about the long line outside the airport's doors, he added: "That is fast track."
Twitter user @Toaster07691894 was also stuck in a queue. "Currently queuing outside the airport. Not sure why half term has caught the airport by surprise," they wrote.
The reports come after scenes of "absolute carnage" at the airport yesterday, when it was evacuated because of a fire alarm.
The evacuation took place shortly before 6am on Friday, when passengers had started queueing to go through security for their morning flights.
The crowd was allowed back into the airport around 30 minutes later, though people at the site have said that those who had already got through to the waiting area are now having to go through security checks again, leading to more queueing.
